Heartbreak And Blessings From The Auction Barn
By Maggie Nutter, Region VI, USCA Board RepresentativeWinter of 2017-1018 came and set in. It was deep white
and cold for months on end. April, when farmers are usually seeding and it is safe for baby calves to be born, the snow was still coming and 4 foot if not 6 foot drifts alternating with mud made it difficult to feed the cows each day as the grass was still hidden beneath the snow. Record snows had hit many parts of Montana and the mountain front had suffered severely and was still punishing the ranchers and their livestock.
When the United States Cattlemen’s Association deter-mined it should raise money to help pay the attorney fees connected with the drafting and filing of the petition for rule making with the USDA FSIS to define beef, my husband, Kelly, and I talked it over. We could sell a steer we’d saved for fatting and give the money or we could organize a “Roll-Over-Auction” and see if we could double that money.
We reached out and other ranchers too donated animals. The organizing of the auctions began—press releases, radio interviews, and Facebook posts, all in preparation and to inform the ranchers what the concern was. Four auctions in two weeks were held.
The heartbreak came as I visited with ranchers and heard the stories of what this winter had claimed. The heartbreak came as I watched cows as thin as concentration camp pris-oners slowly march through the ring. They had been impos-sible to reach due to deep snow, some were lost but these had somehow survived. The rancher who lost many calves trampled by the mammas in a two-day storm where no one could get to them crowed behind a windbreak. Then warm weather came and the melting snow flooded out roads and creeks rose. Another rancher was cut off from his haystacks and after losing many calves then had to purchase truckloads of high priced hay.Then the blessings would come.
The donated calf would trot into the ring and the auc-tioneer stepped aside to have me tell my story and plead the USCA case. Then the sing song rhythm would start “bid a dollah bid a dollah who bid 300, 300, 300. Yep! who’ll bid 325, 325 , 325,” and on the song goes and men in neck rags, Carhartt and muck boots would raise their hands and give.
Each donation is humbling to me, the asker, who has heard the sober stories and knows that the ink scrolled on the checks they write represents a night of walking the floor while the wind howled outside for two days, a 3 a.m. check on a group of first calf heifers while it is 20 below and snow-ing, a morning of shoveling snow or chaining up the already stuck pick up. Each dollar given, be it $10 or $1,000, is the labor of a man or women who know that surviving this hard winter will be for [naught], if we don’t ensure the future of our industry. And so they give.
The father who sat on the bench and watched his toddler with the big hat and can of pop held by both hands, tips his head and gives. Giving those dollars meant a sacrifice of something else.
To those who gave, I want them to know that we respect that those dollars are hard earned and that USCA will spend those dollars prudently to defend the life and industry that means so much to us all.
Thank you to the owners and crews at Head Water Live-stock, Three Forks, MT, Lewistown Livestock Auction, Lewiston, MT, Western Livestock Auction, Great Falls, MT and Bear Paw Auction, Havre, MT.
Thank You! to Jerry Olson, owner of Head Waters Live-stock, Kelly Mothershead, Sweetgrass, Apex Angus, Valier, and Bob Thompson, Whitlash, for generously donating the animals for the auctions.
And Thank You, to every person who donated to help take care of an industry that not only feeds the world but feeds the souls of those in love with the rewarding lifestyle it provides.

Researchers Build Sensors ToHelp Drought-Stricken Brazil
By Erik Gomez, Intern, WSU Voiland College of Engineering & Architecture
Knowing how much you have of something that can’t be seen is a critical issue in the drought-prone state of Ceará in Northeast Brazil.
Washington State University researcher Sasha Richey leads a project that will provide better measurement, moni-toring and management of the groundwater in this region of Brazil.120 tools for under $20
Traditional tools to assess the status of groundwater are cost-prohibitive for rural communities such as those in Ceará. Richey, an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, has teamed up with fellow Cougs to develop a cost-effective alternative.
Together with Arda Gozen, assistant professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Kirk Reinkens, director of the Frank Innovation Zone, and a group of engineering students, Richey’s team has created 120 inexpensive groundwater measuring tools for the com-munities of Ceará. The cost of each is under $20, built solely from components that can be purchased at any hardware store globally.
Each study community will participate in a training work-shop starting later this month to learn how to use the devices and also to learn basics of groundwater sustainability and local water management policies.Worst drought in a century
The Northeast region of Brazil has in recent years ex-perienced the worst drought in a century. As emergency measures, the state water agencies installed over 3,000 groundwater wells in urban and rural areas, increasing the communities’ reliance on groundwater.
When the researchers conducted interviews with people in the region, however, they discovered that most commu-nity members didn’t understand that groundwater sources are limited and can dry up with overuse. They didn’t have a way to measure the water level of their wells and didn’t have information about best water management practices. The researchers hope that their inexpensive measuring tool will help people in the region improve conservation and water sustainability starting at the household level.
“The challenge of studying groundwater is that it’s ‘in-visible’,” said Richey. “We hope that with these measuring tools we can increase the communities’ awareness of the limits of groundwater and that will hopefully lead to better community-driven water management.”Building instruments and experience
The project also provided a valuable opportunity for the WSU students to get hands-on experience in building instrumentation with real-world applications, she added.
The $223,182 project is funded by the U.K. Department for International Development and administered by the Evi-dence in Governance and Politics Metaketa III. The research is being conducted in collaboration with Alicia Cooperman, a Ph.D. candidate in political science at Columbia University and Brigitte Seim, assistant professor in public policy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

See Page A10 For Dealer Index Ten Things That WillDisappear In Our Lifetime
1. The Post OfficeGet ready to imagine a world without the
post office. They are so deeply in financial trouble that there is probably no way to sustain it long term. Email, Fed Ex, and UPS have just about wiped out the minimum revenue needed to keep the post office alive. Most of your mail every day is junk mail and bills.2. The Check
Britain is already laying the groundwork to do away with check by 2018. It costs the financial system billions of dollars a year to process checks. Plastic cards and online transactions will lead to the eventual demise of the check. This plays right into the death of the post office. If you never paid your bills by mail and never received them by mail, the post office would absolutely go out of business.3. The Newspaper
The younger generation simply doesn’t read the newspaper. They certainly don’t subscribe to a daily delivered print edition. That may go the way of the milkman and the laundry man. As for reading the paper online, get ready to pay for it. The rise in mobile Internet devices and e-readers has caused all the newspaper and magazine publishers to form an alliance. They have met with Apple, Amazon, and the major cell phone companies to develop a model for paid subscription services.4. The Book
You say you will never give up the physi-cal book that you hold in your hand and turn the literal pages I said the same thing about downloading music from iTunes. I wanted my hard copy CD But I quickly changed my mind when I discovered that I could get
albums for half the price without ever leav-ing home to get the latest music. The same thing will happen with books You can browse a bookstore online and even read a preview chapter before you buy. And the price is less than half that of a real book. And think of the convenience! Once you start flicking your fingers on the screen instead of the book, you find that you are lost in the story, can’t wait to see what happens next, and you forget that you’re holding a gadget instead of a book.5. The Land Line Telephone
Unless you have a large family and make a lot of local calls, you don’t need it anymore. Most people keep it simply because they’ve always had it. But you are paying double charges for that extra service. All the cell phone companies will let you call customers using the same cell provider for no charge against your minutes.6. Music
This is one of the saddest parts of the change story. The music industry is dying a slow death. Not just because of illegal down-loading. It’s the lack of innovative new music being given a chance to get to the people who would like to hear it. Greed and corruption is the problem. The record labels and the radio conglomerates are simply self-destructing. Over 40% of the music purchased today is “catalogue items,” meaning traditional music that the public is familiar with. Older established artists. This is also true on the live concert circuit. To explore this fascinat-ing and disturbing topic further, check out the book, “Appetite for Self-Destruction” by Steve Knopper, and the video documentary, “Before the Music Dies.”

Earth BioGenome Project Could Hold SolutionsBy Kim Kaplan, ARS, USDA
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is partnering in the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), biology’s version of the moonshot, an effort that will yield millions of powerful new solutions to agriculture’s challenges.
EBP is an international cooperative initia-tive to sequence during the next 10 years the DNA of more than 1.5 million species—those more complex than bacteria—representing the world’s biodiversity. The initiative was highlighted in a recent Proceedings of the National Academy of Science’s article.
EBP calls for scientists to sequence the genomes of 9,330 species, one from each plant, animal and protozoan taxonomic fam-ily as reference genomes in the first three years. Then, the plan calls for sequencing the genome of one species from each genus—the next taxonomic division finer than family—during years four to seven, although in less detail, for a total of about 150,000 genera. The remaining 1.5 million species would be sequenced in still less detail during the final four years of the project.
“The benefits that will come from increas-ing our knowledge and understanding of the genomes of the Earth’s biodiversity will be monumental, especially for agriculture,” explained Kevin Hacket, senior national program leader for entomology with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS). Hack-ett is one of only three federal members on the 23-person EBP steering committee and he is representing agriculture.
As an example of the importance to ag-riculture, Hackett pointed out that insects destroy one-fifth of the world’s crop produc-tion annually and would do worse without pesticides. Control of insect devastation is an ongoing struggle, and pesticide resistance is an ever-evolving problem, requiring re-searchers to look constantly for new ways to tackle the issue.
“Understanding a pest’s DNA and biol-ogy is essential to precisely targeting new controls, to combatting an insect without harming other species or other pieces of the ecology,” Hackett said. “There are solutions to problems in pest control out there in the genetic biodiversity that we can barely con-ceive of right now.”
For instance, who could have guessed that a jellyfish’s DNA would have provided
a glowing green fluorescent protein that lets scientists trace when compounds too small to be seen by microscopes are being made in the cells of species as diverse as peas and pigs?
Genomic information is already providing the basis for other powerful advances from speeding up breeding for enhanced plant and animal traits to helping increase safety from ticks and diseases associated with them.
For example, ARS insect physiologist Fe-lix Guerrero and his team recently sequenced the cattle fever tick genome and identified genes now being used to develop a vaccine against the ticks. This vaccine may protect cattle from several fatal tickborne diseases and eventually fight other ticks including those that spread Lyme disease to people.
Another ongoing ARS-led project is Cornome, which is planning to completely sequence ten of the most important agricultural insects in corn, so that when RNA interference (RNAi) gene silencing is applied to create a new pest control, scientists can first check the DNA of non-target insects to make sure they would not be harmed by this new technology.
EBP is not beginning its massive task from scratch. It is building on already-existing efforts to sequence the genomes of more specific taxonomic groups such as the Global Invertebrate Genomics Alliance (GIGA), which is targeting 7,000 non-insect/non-nematode species with an emphasis on marine taxa, and the i5K Initiative, which is sequencing the genomes of no less than 5,000 arthropod species important to agriculture and biological research. Hackett is an i5K co-founder and one of its co-chairs.
So far, scientists from around the world, individually and in various networks, have sequenced the genomes of about 15,000 spe-cies, less than 0.1 percent of all life on Earth.
The total cost for phase I of EBP is estimated at about $500 million. The total cost of the 10-year project is expected to be roughly $4.5 billion. EBP’s feasibility benefits from the sharp decline in sequencing costs, down from $10,000 per genome in 2001 to $1,000 today.
EBP expects most of the funding to be do-nated by foundations. For more information about ARS genomics and i5K work, please see “Unraveling What Genomics Can Do” at https://agresearchmag.ars.usda.gov/2017/sep/genomics/.

A Mayonnaise Jar & Two Beers When 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the
mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some
items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls . He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full? The students responded with a unanimous “yes.”
The professor then produced two beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed!
“Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else—the small stuff.
“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18 holes of golf. There will always be time to clean the house, fix the disposal or deal with things from your job. Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled and said, “I’m glad you asked. The beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of beers with a friend.”
Old Time Farming Days in Colfax, WA, drew participants from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and even Montana. Spectators were
treated to performances by many beautiful teams, this one from Creston, Washington, owned and driven by Terry Batterton.

Refrigerating Honey Bees ToFight Mites, Colony Collapse
By Scott Weybright, CAHNRSSaving honey bees is easier when varroa mite infestation is
reduced. WSU researchers are hoping mid-season hibernation can help in the fight against the mighty mites.
Varroa mites are pests that weaken bees’ immune systems, transmit viruses and siphon off nutrients. They’re a huge factor in colony collapse around the country.
“Most treatments only kill varroa on adult bees, and are generally only effective for three days,” said Brandon Hopkins, assistant professor of entomology and manager of the WSU bee program. “But a lot of mites live in the brood, which are under a wax cap that treatments can’t touch. Those bees hatch out and are already afflicted.”
Currently, treating for mites requires three treatments over a 21-day period to make sure you treat all the new bees that come out infested with mites.
These treatments are difficult and expensive because bee-keepers must treat all their colonies on a specific schedule. It’s very labor intensive to treat thousands of colonies by hand three times at precise timing cycles, Hopkins said.Cold storage
Bees don’t truly hibernate, but they do change their behav-ior in winter. Queens stop laying eggs, so no new “brood” is created at that time.
Last August, WSU researchers put 200 honey bee colonies into refrigerated storage. This is a time when bees are still ac-tive, but have finished making honey for the season, and there are no crops that require pollination. It’s also when beekeepers normally do a round of mite treatments.
By placing colonies in refrigerators, the queen stops laying new eggs, which stops the production of brood. When the bees come out of refrigeration, there is no “capped brood”.
At that point, Hopkins and his team apply a varroa treatment on the adult bees.
The initial results were overwhelmingly positive. Research-ers found an average of five mites per 100 bees on the control colonies (not refrigerated) one month after the normal three-cycle mite treatment.
The refrigerated colonies had an average of 0.2 mites per 100 bees one month after the single mite treatment.
“That’s a significant decrease,” Hopkins said. “Refrigeration is expensive, so we need to do more work to prove the cost is worth it for beekeepers, but we’re really excited so far.”
Additionally, the infestation levels varied tremendously from colony to colony in the control samples. That’s because of the difficulty in treating colonies consistently over three cycles. The colonies that had the refrigeration treatment had consistent mite numbers with little variation.Doubling down
After hearing about this research, a few beekeepers approached the WSU scientists about doing a similar round of refrigeration in the early spring. Most commercial beekeepers in the U.S. take their colonies to California for almond pollination in February and March. But there’s a time gap between the end of the almond pol-lination season and the start of pollination season in the northwest.
“Beekeepers generally have two periods of time for mite treatments, before the bees make honey and after,” Hopkins said.
Once bees have mites, the infestation increases during the pollination and honey production months.
“But if they can start with low mite numbers, the bees are healthier during the honey production period,” Hopkins said. “A lot of varroa damage comes while the bees are making honey.”Calculated risk with 100 colonies
This spring, Belliston Bros., a commercial Idaho beekeeper, donated 100 honey bee colonies to do a refrigeration study just like the one done in August last year.
“It’s a big risk for them,” Hopkins said. “But if it works, beekeepers would have significantly better varroa control while using fewer chemicals. And they’ll have better colony survival during the following pollinating season. It’s a win all-around.”
Nobody really knows how bees will react to being put back into their winter mode in what is normally the middle of their active season, he said. But that’s what science is all about. And if this works, it could be a major and environmentally sound victory in the great varroa mite battle that beekeepers have been waging for decades.
“We’re hopeful,” Hopkins said. “We won’t have results back for several months, but we’re excited we may have a way to help beekeepers keep their colonies strong and stable.”

Disappear continued from page C67. Television Revenues
To the networks are down dramatically. Not just because of the economy. People are watching TV and movies streamed from their computers. And they’re playing games and doing lots of other things that take up the time that used to be spent watching TV. Prime time shows have degenerated down to lower than the lowest common denominator. Cable rates are skyrocketing and commercials run about every 4 minutes and 30 seconds. I say good riddance to most of it. It’s time for the cable companies to be put out of our misery. Let the people choose what they want to watch online and through Netflix.8. The “Things” That You Own
Many of the very possessions that we used to own are still in our lives, but we may not actually own them in the future. They may simply reside in “the cloud.” Today your computer has a hard drive and you store your pictures, music, movies, and documents. Your software is on a CD or DVD, and you can always re-install it if need be. But all of that is changing. Apple, Microsoft, and Google are all finishing up their latest “cloud services.” That means that when you turn on a computer, the Internet will be built into the operating system. So, Windows, Google, and the Mac OS will be tied straight into the Internet. If you click an icon, it will open something in the Internet cloud. If you save something, it will be saved to the cloud. And you may pay a monthly subscription fee to the cloud provider. In this virtual world, you can access your music or your books, or your whatever from any laptop or handheld device. That’s the good news. But, will you actually own any of this “stuff” or will it all be able to disappear at any moment in a big “Poof?” Will most of the things in our lives be disposable and whimsical? It makes you want to run to the closet and pull out that photo album, grab a book from the shelf, or open up a CD case and pull out the insert.9. Joined Handwriting (Cursive Writing)
Already gone in some schools who no longer teach “joined handwriting” because nearly everything is done now on computers or keyboards of some type (pun not intended)10. Privacy
If there ever was a con-cept that we can look back on nostalgically, it would be privacy. That’s gone. It’s been gone for a long time anyway. There are cameras on the street, in most of the buildings, and even built into your computer and cell phone. But you can be sure that 24/7, “They” know who you are and where you are, right down to the GPS coor-dinates, and the Google Street View. If you buy something, your habit is put into a zil-lion profiles, and your ads will change to reflect those habits.. “They” will try to get you to buy something else. Again and again and again.

Extreme Climate VariabilityDestabilizing West Coast Ecosystems
By Chris Branam, Oregon State UniversityNew research shows that extreme climate variability over
the last century in western North America may be destabiliz-ing both marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
Climate is increasingly controlling synchronous ecosystem behavior in which species populations rise and fall together, according to the National Science Foundation-funded study published in the journal Global Change Biology.
Climate variability is of concern given that extreme events, such as prolonged drought or heat waves, can disproportion-ately impact biology, reduce resilience and leave a lasting impact. An increase in the synchrony of the climate could expose marine and terrestrial organisms to higher risks of extinction, said study co-author Ivan Arismendi, an aquatic ecologist and assistant professor at Oregon State University.
“There has been a tremendous amount of research on cli-mate change, but almost all of it has been focused on trends in average conditions, such as rising temperatures,” Arismendi said. “However, climate is also predicted to become more variable and very little research has addressed this issue. Our study found that extreme variability is synchronizing processes within and among ecosystems at a level not seen in the last 250 years.”
The interdisciplinary research team, led by the University of Texas Marine Science Institute, documented that winter-time atmospheric conditions along the west coast of North America, known as North Pacific high, are important to ma-rine, terrestrial, and freshwater ecosystems in California and the southwestern United States. A strong wintertime North Pacific High is associated with winds that are favorable for marine productivity, but also blocks the onshore storm track and leads to drought on land.
The researchers documented that the North Pacific High has become more variable over the past century, and that these trends have been imprinted on physical and biological indicators from the continental slope to the Sierra Nevada and beyond. There are more dramatic and frequent swings in this winter climate pattern, and not only has variability increased, but so too has the synchrony among diverse ecosystems.
“We’ve found that land, rivers, and oceans are all strongly related to a winter climate pattern off the western coast of North America, and that climate pattern has become more variable over the past century,” said lead author Bryan Black, associate professor of marine science at UT-Austin. “This extreme variability is increasingly imprinted on these fresh-water, terrestrial, and marine systems, and this has caused them to become more synchronous with one another with a number of implications for fisheries, drought, snowpack, and tree growth.”
Indeed, tree-ring chronologies provide much longer histories than observational records and corroborate that variability and synchrony have risen over the past hundred years, and to levels that are as high as any observed over the past three centuries, according to the researchers.
More frequent and larger changes in the North Pacific High appear to originate from rising variability in the trop-ics and are linked to the record-breaking El Niño events in 1983, 1998, and 2016 and the 2014-2015 North Pacific Ocean heat wave known as “The Blob.”
Arismendi is an assistant professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences. Jason Dunham, an aquatic ecologist at the U.S. Geologic Survey Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center in Corvallis, is also one of the study’s co-authors.
